The Blind Spots of AI in Localization: Why an “Error-Free” Translation Can Still Fail
For a long time, quality in localization was defined in relatively simple terms: error-free text, terminological consistency, and fidelity to the source meaning.

The Blind Spots of AI in Localization: Why AI Fails Without Linguistic Governance
